World Cup 2019: Semi-finals qualification scenario for all teams

#7 Pakistan

Pakistan

Remaining matches

Vs New Zealand, at Birmingham, Jun 26

Vs Afghanistan, at Leeds, Jun 29

Vs Bangladesh, at London, Jul 5

With a victory against South Africa, Pakistan have kept their World Cup hopes alive. Pakistan got off to a dreadful start with an embarrassing defeat against West Indies. They registered an astonishing victory against England before going down against arch-rivals India.

However, the win against South Africa has given Pakistan a new lease of life. Pakistan now have 5 points in 6 games and are in 7th place on the points table. Importantly, Pakistan are set to play against Afghanistan and Bangladesh in their last two group games and will be confident of winning those two matches.

In case Pakistan win all their remaining three games, they will qualify if

1. Sri Lanka lose atleast one match

2. England lose atleast two matches

Both Pakistan and England can qualify for the semifinals with 11 and 10 points respectively if atleast one of India, Australia and New Zealand lose all their matches, an unlikely scenario considering their current form.

If Pakistan win two games then they will qualify if

1. England loses all their matches

2. Bangladesh lose atleast two games

3. West Indies lose atleast one game
